476: war

That figure seemed to be severely injured, with a very weak aura, but as if sensing the gaze of the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court, he turned his head to reveal a slightly pale face.

It was the face of a Middle-aged man, with thick, dark eyebrows containing an inexplicable majesty, though the dim light in his eyes and the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth significantly weakened it.

However, it was evident that this person, in his prime, must have been a top-tier individual; that demeanor could not be concealed even in his severely injured state.

He was also clad in a white robe, but it was largely stained red with blood and had many torn areas, making him appear somewhat disheveled.

He met the gaze of the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court, and from the depths of his eyes emerged a sense of helplessness and apology, along with a hint of unwillingness and resentment.

Seeing this, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court felt an inexplicable shock in his heart and showed a bitter smile. He had not expected that the assistance he had long awaited would appear in such a state.

Moreover, from the being referred to as the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, he also sensed a strong aura of danger.

He had indeed underestimated the Vermilion Bird Palace… He sighed softly. Only today did he truly understand why the Vermilion Bird Palace and the forces behind it were once able to dominate the Immortal Realm; they were truly terrifying.

He had initially thought that the person he had fought earlier was already the ruler of the Vermilion Bird Palace, but now it seemed he had underestimated them after all.

“Heh heh, Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court, do you understand now the gap between your Myriad Immortals Court and my Vermilion Bird Palace?”

The Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace said with a look of mockery. The reason he could be so patient and stall the other party was precisely because he had a backup plan.

Undoubtedly, that backup plan was naturally the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace, the true leader of the Vermilion Bird Palace.

The dark-red haired youth slowly tossed the figure in his hand towards the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court’s location, as if throwing a piece of trash.

Whoosh.

The latter quickly caught him, and a powerful spiritual energy was injected into his body, which allowed the weak-aura Middle-aged man to recover somewhat.

He said to the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Alas, Brother Xiao, this time I was careless and fell into their trap, but… this person is very powerful, far from what I can contend with!”

Towards the end, he looked at the former with a solemn expression, seemingly worried about their current situation.

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court nodded. He naturally understood that the current situation was not optimistic.

This Middle-aged man came from the Central Immortal Domain, and his strength had also reached the realm of an Immortal Dao Saint, not much weaker than him.

He was originally intended to be a surprise force, to join hands with him, with a high probability of defeating the invading Vermilion Bird Palace.

But what he never expected was that the Vermilion Bird Palace also had a means of achieving victory by surprise, and he was the true strongest person in the Vermilion Bird Palace.

As a result, they would not only be unable to repel the opponent, but they might not even be able to guarantee their own safety.

The Myriad Immortals Court is in danger!

“You are not my opponent. I think you yourself know this very well. So, I will give you one last choice: surrender, or die!”

The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace spoke in a calm voice, yet it carried an extremely astonishing sense of oppression, delivering his final ultimatum.

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court did not respond. He naturally understood that if they continued to fight, it would definitely be his Myriad Immortals Court that would be defeated.

But if his Myriad Immortals Court chose to surrender, would that not mean that the colossal entity behind him also bowed its head?

Most importantly, he also possessed his own pride and would rather die than surrender. Therefore, he showed a seemingly relaxed but incredibly firm smile and said:

“To make me, Xiao, surrender, you… are not worthy yet!”

As his words fell, the scene was silent, and the Immortal Venerable powerhouses on the Myriad Immortals Court’s side below also felt a surge of hot blood.

If the Court Master had not given up, how could they easily admit defeat!

Immediately, a fighting spirit even more fervent than before soared into the sky, sweeping across heaven and earth.

Those who could cultivate to the Immortal Venerable realm were all exceptional individuals, describing them as one in a hundred million would be an understatement. They also had their own beliefs; if they chose to bow their heads, their achievements in this life would stop there.

Therefore, they were also unwilling to surrender, as that would bring endless humiliation.

Fight!

Their eyes burned brightly, and they all shouted in unison, taking the lead to charge at the somewhat stunned Vermilion Bird Palace forces.

Stubborn fools!

The powerhouses of the Vermilion Bird Palace sneered, naturally unwilling to let the other party act presumptuously, and each employed their methods to quickly suppress them.

Seeing this scene, the Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace’s expression was somewhat ugly, but then quickly turned into a sneer.

In his opinion, such an act was utterly foolish, like an ant trying to shake a tree, courting disaster!

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court let out a hearty laugh, pushed with a large hand, sending the white-robed Middle-aged man who was no longer able to fight away from the battlefield, while a terrifying, soul-stirring brilliance burst forth from his silver eyes.

“Let me, Xiao, experience the powerful methods of the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace!”

Rumble.

A spiritual energy fluctuation, several times more terrifying than before, suddenly erupted around him, with rolling aura, shaking the universe.

You… Vice Palace Lord of Vermilion Bird Palace was somewhat surprised. It seemed the other party was preparing to fight to the death, using his ultimate trump card.

“Nine Tribulations Undying, Myriad Immortal Fist!”

The Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court roared, enveloped in endless immortal light, like the Lord of Ten Thousand Immortals. His world-shaking fist light crushed the space, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

He knew that this Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace was far from comparable to the Vice Palace Lord he had fought earlier, so he unleashed a killing move from the start and employed a secret technique to temporarily boost his combat power.

The might of this punch was enough to break the previous balance, and this could be seen from the expression on the Vice Palace Master’s face.

“A little interesting, but to fight me, you are still far from enough!”

The dark-red haired Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace’s voice was somewhat cold, and he remained largely unmoved even in the face of such an attack.

He extended his slender palm, and immediately the void became turbulent, an extremely scorching aura spreading out.

Following that, space slowly fractured, forming a fiery vortex, and a large hand composed of flames emerged from within it.

The moment it appeared, countless crimson flames materialized out of thin air deep within the entire sky, transforming into a sea of fire.

Boom.

No sooner said than done, the two attacks collided heavily, and their terrifying power secretly astonished even the white-robed Middle-aged man who was observing from afar.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes. Although the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court’s strength had greatly increased at this moment, he had personally experienced the methods of the Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace… Bang.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the two attacks exploded with a crash and dissipated simultaneously.

However, the two parties who unleashed them showed completely different reactions. The Palace Lord of the Vermilion Bird Palace stood firm, not moving an inch.

In contrast, the Lord of the Myriad Immortals Court was actually shaken back a hundred zhang, with a clear distinction in superiority!
